We can confidently approach the exhibition titled "NACHLEBEN" as a manifestation of Xie Lei's artistic growth and diverse intellectual curiosity, this time referencing the concept of reframing introduced by Aby Warburg in his profound work. Warburg's "Nachleben" bears witness to the secret life of visual perception in art, where images are transcending their original context, evolving through time, cultures, and artistic interpretations. Xie breathes life into his works as he navigates along the shores of this idea on his own terms, as we can observe in Vienna at Galerie Kandlhofer.
